[GRASS-user] Re: Wingrass and AVG

[Maris Nartiss]

Hi Daniel,
it's a known issue with antivirus programs under MS-Windows. There's
nothing GRASS developers can do about this until MS-Windows gets fixed
(determining file type by content and not by it's extension) but such
change will not happen in nearest future (~100 years or more).
Only solution - add GRASS files to whitelist.

You can find more information in GRASS user/developer mailing list archives.

Maris.
